I forgot how much I hated working in an office. Our desks were directly under the vent, so we’d get blasted with cold air. Sales was off in a corner, where it was too warm for them. No amount of adjusting the thermostat would change their local temperature, but they’d try anyway.
In addition to being climate criminals who should all be stripped of their nice things, people who mandate in-office are often causing personal, physical, suffering.
You do realize the HVAC systems have fans in them right? The problem is these people were complaining that part of the fan blew on them because they were underneath the vent. A fan is not going to solve an issue like that because the fans radiate out and the fins radiate out including down. So in a normal office situation like this you just stick a piece of cardboard up over your desk and it directs the airflow away from your desk very easily. A fan ain’t going to do shit.

You needed ceiling fans to help distribute and even out the temperature.
One would consider to switch desk?
Or just a piece of cardboard, like had been used for decades.
A fan would actually solve the problem. But that requires some official decision trying to improve people’s life.
How would a fan solve the issue?
By avoiding one place being too cold while another is too hot.

Yeah, noticed the problem with relying on the HVAC’s internal fans to do local air circulation?
Into some other place with people too. And certainly not into the hot island, because if the air could easily reach there it wouldn’t be a hot island.
